I had a tough time getting it going without windows protection errors - restart your computer. Finally it got cookin, I downloaded ut 53meg demo in just under 3min - speed of 295kb/sec. I was on bell hse and highest I got was 97kb/sec.

USB can not be faster than a 100mbps NIC! USB's maximum trasfer rate is 12 mbps and a commom NIC is capable of 10/100mbps. At least that is what I think.

I normally get about 400kbps.


This is the fastet I have ever downloaded at! No, I do not get this all the time.

Cable's potential is awesome.

Though that was downloading a lot of demo's at once. Getright's ability to segment files and establish connections with up to 6 different sources to download the same file is great!

USB @home? What's that all about?

Whoa!!! Just realized that was 4mb/s+ and not .4 that Jad was talking about!

In that case, the fastes I've seen is 2mb/s+...but that was downloading off my own @home hosted website, so I don't think that really counts.
